"Green" can imply "youthful" or "inexperienced." He's refering to the excitement, nervousness, and discovery often felt by teenagers in love. In the context of the entire song, he's comparing the feeling of taking off in an airplane to the emotions attached to early sexual experiences.
Full lyrics:
I take a breath and pull the air in 'til there's nothing left
I'm feeling green like teenage lovers between the sheets
Ba ba ba ba ...
Knuckles clenched to white as the landing gear retract for flight
My head's a balloon inflating with the altitude
Ba ba ba ba...
I watch the patchwork farms' slow fade into the ocean's arms
And from here they can't see me stare
The stale taste of recycled air
I watch the patchwork farms' slow fade into the ocean's arms
Calm down, release your cares
The stale taste of recycled air

I'm assuming it means, when something is growing like new flowers, grass, new leaves in the spring, they are fresh and green. Teenage lovers between the sheets most likely means, they really don't know what they are doing (yet).

look: green has many meanings, 1) young and so, strong
2) inexperienced and aspires to know more 3) pale and sick/ afraid
in all cases the connection with teenage lover's.. is that teens always wanna know more and wanna experience their first ( bed/ sleeping) together how'll it feel like?

I love the name Mercedes Benz There! I think a nice expensive sounding show name is Elegantly A Star or Instead of Diamonds. Good luck with the name search!

Use your imagination! Or are you so experience that you forget the beginning?
